Penguins and squirrels have never been so violent in these games

Penguins aren’t the slickest accomplices due to the fact they, you know, don’t have hands, but they’ll get the job done, more or less. You are here: The Greatest Penguin Heist Of All Time, you’ll put together a ragtag team of bumbling bird buffoons to pull off heists.

We have penguins and more in Cool WIP, Polygon’s weekly roundup of eye-catching clips and screenshots of works in progress. Every week, Polygon’s staff searches the Internet for new and exciting games to show you samples of their most recent projects.

This week we also have a squirrel armed with a gun, a game that looks like it’s made of wood, an epic kaiju fight, and a speeding dune buggy.

These penguins are going to steal all the treasure known to penguin-kind.
